Storage Tips
NOTICE: Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the protective film created by
fogging and damage could occur. Never start the engine during the storage period.
Clean the Exterior

Stabilize the Fuel
1. Fill the fuel tank.
2. Add POLARIS Carbon Clean Fuel Treatment or POLARIS Fuel Stabilizer. Follow the
instructions on the container for the recommended amount. Carbon Clean removes water
from fuel systems, stabilizes fuel and removes carbon deposits from pistons, rings,
valves and exhaust systems.
3. Allow the engine to run for 15-20 minutes to allow the stabilizer to disperse through the
entire fuel delivery system.
Oil and Filter
Change the oil and filter. See page 47.
Air Filter / Air Box
1. Inspect and clean or replace the pre-cleaner and air filter. See page 56.
2. Clean the air box.
